Car hits a group of cyclists, 7 injured, 2 with a reserved prognosis

This morning a car crashed into a group of cyclists who were traveling along Via Arte della Paglia in Signa, in the province of Florence. From what we have learned, seven people are injured, two of which are in a reserved prognosis.

The accident happened around 9:00 am. From an initial reconstruction it seems that the car, a Seat Ibizia driven by a 65-year-old woman, who was proceeding towards Campi Bisenzio, invaded the opposite lane where the cyclists, aged around 60 and 70, were pedaling. An air ambulance was also called to the scene to transport one of the cyclists to the hospital. The Carabinieri of the Sesto Fiorentino station intervened for the findings. It remains to be clarified how the driver ended up in the oncoming lane: a distraction is also among the hypotheses being examined. The woman tested negative for alcohol.

Among the injured, four were taken to the Florentine hospital in Careggi: they all have multiple traumas and for two of them the prognosis is reserved. The other three were taken to Prato hospital, they are all yellow codes.
